Cut-in detection
If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may
inform the driver by flashing the vehicle
ahead detection indicator.
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that
vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the
system warns the driver with the chime
and ICC system display. Decelerate by
depressing the brake pedal to maintain a
safe vehicle distance if:
.The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection indicator
and set distance indicator blink.
. You judge it necessary to maintain a
safe distance.
The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short dis-
tance between vehicles. Some examples
are:
. When the vehicles are traveling at the
same speed and the distance be-
tween vehicles is not changing.
. When the vehicle ahead is traveling
faster and the distance between ve-
hicles is increasing.
. When a vehicle cuts in near your
vehicle. The warning chime will not sound when:
.
Your vehicle approaches other vehi-
cles that are parked or moving slowly.
. The accelerator pedal is depressed,
overriding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may
sound and the system display may
flash when the radar sensor detects
objects on the side of the vehicle or on
the side of the road. This may cause the
ICC system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle. The radar sensor may de-
tect these objects when the vehicle is
driven on winding, narrow, or hilly roads
or when the vehicle is entering or
exiting a curve. In these cases, you will
have to manually control the proper
distance ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or driving position in the
lane) or traffic or vehicle conditions
(for example, if a vehicle is being driven
with some damage).
Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above
44 mph (70 km/h) and following a slower
vehicle (below ICC set speed), and the
turn signal is activated to the left, the ICC
system will automatically start to accel-
erate the vehicle to help initiate passing
on the left and will begin to reduce the
distance to vehicle directly ahead. Only
the left side turn signal operates this
feature. As the driver steers the vehicle
and moves into the passing lane, if no
vehicle is detected ahead the ICC system
will continue to accelerate to the ICC
system set speed. If another vehicle is
detected ahead, then the vehicle will
accelerate up to the following speed of
that vehicle. If the vehicle is not steered
into the left lane to pass, the acceleration
will stop after a short time and regain the
set following distance. Acceleration can
be stopped at any point by depressing
the brake pedal or the CANCEL switch on
the steering wheel.

appropriately.
. The steering assist is intended for
use on well-developed freeways
or highways with gentle (moder-
ate) curves. To avoid risk of an
accident,do not use this system
on local or non-highway roads.
. The steering assist only steers
the vehicle to maintain its posi-
tion in the center of a lane. The
vehicle will not steer to avoid
objects in the road in front of
the vehicle or to avoid a vehicle
moving into your lane.
. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all
times. Never take your hands off
the steering wheel when driving.
Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your
vehicle safely.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the steering
assist. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly be-
fore using the steering assist. To
avoid serious injury or death, do
not rely on the system to prevent
accidents or to control the vehi- cle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the steering
assist except in appropriate road
and traffic conditions.
Steering assist operation
The steering assist controls the steering
system to help keep your vehicle near the
center of the lane when driving. The
steering assist is combined with the
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system.
For additional information, see “Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC)” (P.5-77).
The steering assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
.
The ICC system is activated.
. Lane markers on both sides are clearly
detected.
. A vehicle ahead is detected (when the
vehicle is driven at speeds under 37
MPH (60 km/h)).
. The driver grips the steering wheel.
. The vehicle is driven at the center of
the lane.
. The turn signals are not operated.
. The windshield wiper is not operated
in the high speed operation (the
steering assist function is disabled
after the wiper operates for approxi-
mately 10 seconds).

Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)
When a curve or strong cross wind
exceeds the capabilities of the Steering
Assist and your vehicle approaches either
the left or the right side of the traveling
lane, a warning chime sounds and the I-LI
indicator light (orange) on the instrument
panel flashes to alert the driver. Then, the
I-LI system automatically applies the
brakes for a short period of time to help
assist the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane. This
action is in addition to any Steering Assist
actions. For more information, see “Intel-
ligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)” (P.5-40).

Hands on detection
When the Steering assist is activated, it
monitors the driver’s steering wheel op-
eration.
If the steering wheel is not operated or
the driver takes his/her hands off the
steering wheel for a period of time, thewarning (1) appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been dis-
played, an audible alert sounds and the
warning flashes in the vehicle information
display, followed by a quick brake appli-
cation to request the driver to takecontrol of the vehicle again.
If the driver still does not respond, the
ProPILOT assist turns on the hazard
flasher and slows the vehicle to a com-
plete stop.
The driver can cancel the deceleration at
any time by steering, braking, accelerat-
ing, or operating the ProPILOT assist
switch.
WARNING
Steering assist is not a system for a
hands-free driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and
drive your vehicle safely. Failure to
do so could cause a collision result-
ing in serious personal injury or
death.
NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of
firmly grips) the steering wheel, the
steering torque sensor may not detect
the driver’s hand(s) on the steering
wheel and a sequence of warnings
may occur. When the driver holds and
operates the steering wheel again, the
warnings turn off.
